    Europe’s Florida you could say. So you think that ‘people that struggle should struggle even more to aid people that aren’t struggling nor have struggled ever as much as them’ and you think that’s somehow fair and if the struggling people complaint they are just selfish assholes, did I understand your position correctly?

      That sure is a nice straw man you built there. Real nice indeed.

        No, it’s not. This debt ‘forgiveness’ is not Biden telling banks ‘you’re not getting any money, suck it fuckers’, it is the government paying for it. Where do you think the government gets the money from?

          The straw man is where you made up several points that I apparently support, which I never said or even suggested I support. It’s textbook straw man.

            You support the government paying the debt, a big chunk of this money comes from people that didn’t get to go to college, so you support them paying off a debt contracted by more privileged people. Which part did I make up?

            You didn’t say they are assholes for complaining tho, I got a bit carried away in that part. I’ve seen that point made here in Lemmy a lot, sorry.
